RV Parks with 10 Years Old requirement

I am thinking of buying a used motorhome, something like a 2008 Tiffin Allegro 35QBA Diesel, and refinishing the interior (just materials) as well as possibly a new exterior paint job (similar to this http://www.xtremegraphics.net/ourwork/fullpaint/?action=view&PID=144 )

I have been to many parks in my current motorhome and they ask what year the RV is. I am assuming that there is no way for them to actually check, but a lot of them have a 10 year old or newer requirement. I understand the reasoning, but I don't want to purchase something that is already 9 years old and not be able to go some places due to the age.

What are your thoughts? Do it and lie if asked? Obviously I would avoid giving these places my business, but sometimes I have found that it is tough if they have availability and noone else does, or they are closest to where I want to be.

This rule is only in place for those who come in with a real eyesore and the clause usually reads...by special permission.... I'm in one now and even though I was asked at check in, she didn't comment or step outside for a look. Just so happens, there's a 2000 Prevost here, that will knock your eyeballs out. Also a 07 Super C, with a new $25K paint job on it and I thought it was a new one, also. Ours looks new inside and out, as well, so......
On the opposite page, there's an older gas coach that doesn't look so good and they haven't been run off, as yet, either.
